10 MOST MEMORABLE JAMES BOND SCENES


The latest Bond film “Spectre” was one of 2015’s top grossing films, reaching $877.9 in the box office. It also is rumored to be Daniel Craig’s last as 007 – who, by the way, has actually had his body insured. As Bond fans await the next appearance of the world’s most famous spy, here’s a look at the best moments the Bond films have given us through the years. Goldeneye – Opening Sequence: There is no doubt that the opening sequences in Bond films are among the most spectacular in film history. When Bond returned after a six-year absence with Goldeneye, the producers evidently wanted to show that 007 had lost none of his daring and did not have to rely on Q’s inventions to get the job done. To set the stage for Bond’s return, they staged a bungee jump (and broke a world record) by having Bond leap from the 220-metre-high Contra Dam in Switzerland.



Thunderball – Jet Pack Escape

Sometimes Bond’s signature Aston Martin is not the right vehicle for a quick getaway. In Thunderball, Bond makes his escape by taking to the sky in his personal jet pack. Connery’s double for the stunt flew a real jet pack – a Bell Aerosystem “Rocket Belt” – for the scene but the rest of us are still waiting our chance to take to the sky, even though science fiction and Bond been promising it for decades.

Casino Royale – Poker Tournament

Casino games, from Licence to Kill’s blackjack sequence to rolling the craps dice in and even taking a spin on the roulette wheel in Diamonds are Forever have always been featured in Bond films, acting perhaps as a character foil for the quintessential spy. Casino Royale finally showed Bond engaging in the perfect game for a fearless, calculating, elite secret agent, No-Limit Hold’em poker. The final hand, while a bit improbable, is one of the better casino scenes in the franchise’s history. According to the producers, it was also one of the most difficult scenes in terms of continuity to film of any of the Bond films.
